“…Both BAEPs and otoacoustic emissions are alternative hearing tests for children and are part of several regional screening programs. [16][17][18] In a study conducted in Peru in children aged 0 to 4 years, it was concluded that the sensitivity and specificity of otoacoustic emissions were lower compared to BAEPs. 19 However, the choice between BAEPs and otoacoustic emissions is based on available resources and patient characteristics, so the normal values for each test in the population analyzed should be known.…”

Introduction.A non-invasive and safe way to assess neurophysiological parameters in newborn infants is the evaluation of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs).Objective. To assess the latencies and wave intervals of BAEPs in healthy newborn infants born in a high-altitude area (Cusco, 3399 MASL). Population and methods.Cross-sectional and prospective study. Newborn infants younger than 14 days of age, discharged less than 7 days after birth, were assessed to determine BAEP values at intensities of 70 dB, 80 dB, and 90 dB. The study variables were gestational age, birth weight, and type of delivery. The median differences in wave latencies and intervals were estimated according to gestational age and birth weight.Results. A total of 96 newborn infants (17 preterm infants) were assessed. The median latencies of waves I-V at 90 dB were for wave I: 1.56 ms, wave II: 2,74 ms, wave III: 4.37 ms, wave IV: 5.62 ms, and wave V: 6.63 ms. The latency of wave I for 80 dB was 1.71 ms and for 70 dB, 1.88 ms. Wave intervals (I-III, III-V, I-V) were 2.8 ms, 2.2 ms, and 5.0 ms, respectively, without differences among intensities (p > 0.05). Prematurity and low birth weight were associated with a longer wave I latency (p < 0.05). Conclusions.Here we describe adjusted BAEP latency and interval values for newborn infants born at high altitude. At different sound intensities, we identified differences in wave latencies, but not in interwave intervals.

“…Tanto los PEAT como las emisiones otoacústicas son opciones para la evaluación audiológica en niños, las cuales forman parte de la pesquisa de varios programas regionales. [16][17][18] En un estudio realizado en Perú con niños de 0 a 4 años, se concluyó que la sensibilidad y especificidad de las emisiones otoacústicas eran menores en comparación con los PEAT. 19 Sin embargo, la elección de PEAT o emisiones otoacústicas se basa en la disponibilidad de recursos y las características de los pacientes, por lo que se deben conocer los valores normales de cada estudio en la población.…”

Introducción. Una forma no invasiva y segura de evaluar los parámetros neurofisiológicos en recién nacidos es la evaluación de los potenciales evocados auditivos del tronco encefálico (PEAT).Objetivo. Evaluar las latencias e intervalos de ondas de los PEAT en neonatos sanos nacidos a gran altitud (Cusco, 3399 msnm). Población y métodos.Estudio transversal y prospectivo. Se incluyeron neonatos menores a 14 días de vida, dados de alta a menos de 7 días de nacidos, evaluados para determinar los valores de los PEAT a intensidades sonoras de 70 dB, 80 dB y 90 dB. Se incluyeron las variables edad gestacional, peso al nacer, tipo de parto. Se calcularon las diferencias de las medianas de las latencias e intervalos de las ondas según edad gestacional y peso al nacer.Resultados. Se evaluaron 96 neonatos (17 pretérminos). Las medianas de las latencias de las ondas I a V a 90 dB fueron las siguientes:
